Inside Sales + Customer Service ERP/CRM Software Management + Strategy

Business strategist from Nicaragua who merges the precision of engineering with the creativity of marketing and the foresight of business development. With 10+ years leading cross-functional teams, I've specialized in uncovering friction points, redesigning processes, and launching initiatives that drive real, measurable outcomes. My foundation as a disciplined, systems-thinking engineer powers my ability to see both the macro strategy and the micro inefficiencies and connect them into scalable solutions. I don't just deliver results; I build the systems that sustain them. I bring cross-functional experience across recruiting, marketing, sales, and operations, mapping entire customer journeys from acquisition to upselling and breaking them into clear, executable steps. I’m naturally inclined to teach and onboard teams, with fluency in ERPs, CRMs, Google tools, and platforms like Slack, Monday, and ClickUp. I thrive on improving processes with a creative, systems-thinking mindset, always aiming for clarity, automation, and real results. Whether leading a campaign or optimizing workflows, I balance vision with execution, applying engineering logic to move businesses forward.
